It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
